How to edit the layers defined when initializing a Editor?

Question

I am having some problems with editing the Editor object. We have multiple layers that are editable by the user, and the user can enable and disable layers. When a layer is disable/enabled the Editor object should be modified or removed+created to make sure the layers are visible in the toolbar.

We have this method for creating the editor, but how could I modify the layers inside the editor (or templatepicker), when the object is allready initialized..

 this.addToolbar = function(map, id, layers, featureLayers) {
 if (dijit.byId(id)) { 
 //TODO Update existing editor if layers changed
 } else {
 var settings = {
 map: map,
 layerInfos: featureLayers,
 createOptions: {
 polylineDrawTools: [Editor.CREATE_TOOL_FREEHAND_POLYLINE],
 polygonDrawTools: [Editor.CREATE_TOOL_FREEHAND_POLYGON,
 Editor.CREATE_TOOL_CIRCLE,
 Editor.CREATE_TOOL_TRIANGLE,
 Editor.CREATE_TOOL_RECTANGLE
 ]
 },
 toolbarVisible: false,
 toolbarOptions: {
 reshapeVisible: true
 }
 };
 var params = {
 settings: settings
 };
 var myEditor = new Editor(params, id);
 myEditor.startup();
 }
 }

So i could store the value of myEditor, but what variable do I change, and how do I make sure it updates the html? Any ideas?

Update: This is not the way to go, when i destroy a editor, the elements that are already drawn with it are not editable anymore. I will just show and hide the editors with some plain js.

Answer 1

Nest your editor node in another container.

<div id="editorContainer">
 <div id="editor"> </div>
</div>

Move the settings and params before the if statement.

Then in the TODO part -

1. destroy the editor

   myEditor.destroyRecursive();

2. recreate the editor div in the editorContainer

   domConstruct.create("div",{id:"editor"},"editorContainer");

3. recreate the editor

   var myEditor = new Editor(params, id);

• Nico Bijl: Thanks for you reply. I found out that elements that are drawn with a toolbar are not editable anymore when that toolbar is re-created.. So i need to change the way the app works atm.
